As noted on the
Fallout Website, Fallout 3 should now be available (to the
minute) in North America for those willing to brave insanity by taking part in the midnight
madness at participating Best Buy stores. Fallout 3 is Bethesda Softworks'
continuation of the classic post-apocalyptic RPG series created by Black Isle Studios in
the late 1990s. The
Fallout 3 Overview outlines the game, while the
Fallout FAQ looks to
clear up any remaining questions. In an odd related note,
BigDownload reports they and other sites were asked to remove Fallout 3
trailers from their downloads area "in connection with ESRB's advertising
guidelines," but it's not very clear exactly which guideline is being followed
here.
